Figure-1: Monthly Crude Oil Production
Unit-wise production details with reasons for shortfall are as under:
- Crude oil production by ONGC  in nomination block during December 2021 was 1652.90 TMT, which is 4.67% lower than target of the month and 2.8% lower when compared with production of December 2020. Cumulative crude oil production by ONGC during April-December, 2021 was 14596.31 TMT, which is 4.36% and 4.03% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- Less than anticipated production from WO-16 cluster due to delay in mobilization of MOPU Sagar Samrat.
- Less than anticipated production from Cluster-8 fields due to delay in inputs as installation of wellhead platforms got delayed due to Covid impact.
- Loss in oil production in Ratna & R-Series due to due to scaling in wells and delay in H2S package at R-13A wells.
- Less condensate receipt at Hazira due to less gas production from B&S Asset and due to constraints in 36” SBHT line.
- Crude oil production by OIL  in the nomination block during December 2021 was 254.36 TMT, which is 5.39% higher when compared with production of December 2020 but 8.73% lower than target of the month. Cumulative crude oil production by OIL during April-December 2021 was 2243.85 TMT, which is 0.77% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year but 4.61% lower than target for the period. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- Less than planned contribution from workover wells and drilling wells.
- Less than planned due to local disturbance & miscreants activities in main producing area .
- Crude oil production by Pvt/JVs companies in the PSC/RSC regime during December 2021 was 602.72 TMT, which is 5.06% lower than the target of the reporting month and 1.88% lower than the month production of December 2020. Cumulative crude oil production by Pvt/JVs companies during April-December 2021 was 5538.24 TMT, which is 4.7% and 0.17% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- MB/OSDSF/B80/2016 : Delay in commencement of production.
- RAVVA : Production shortfall is due to less water injection in RC-4ST and RC-11z which has caused lower production from producer wells.
- CB-OS/2 : Production shortfall is due to Natural decline, increase in water cut observed in aquifer supported pools and Recent sanding/loading issues in the wells.
- CB-ONN-2004/2 : Three development wells in VD-3 discovery and one development well in VD-5 discovery could not be drilled as planned in Q1, Q2 & Q3. The production rate of new development well Vadatal#21 is not as expected.
- Production of Natural Gas
Natural gas production during December 2021 was 2896.69 MMSCM, which is 19.45% higher than the production of December 2020 but 14.93% lower than the monthly target. Cumulative natural gas production during April-December 2021 was 25673.90 MMSCM, which is 21.51% higher than production during corresponding period of last year but 8.75% lower when compared with target for the period. Unit-wise and state-wise natural gas production is given at Annexure-II. Unit-wise natural gas production for the month of December 2021 and cumulatively for April-December 2021 vis-à-vis same period of last year has been shown in Table-2 and month-wise in Figure-2.

Figure 3: Crude Oil Processed 
3.1 CPSE Refineries’ crude oil processed during December 2021 was 12469.20 TMT, which is 2.66% higher than target for the month but 2.70% lower than the production of December 2020. Cumulative crude throughput during April-December 2021 was 98998.10 TMT which is 10.33% higher than corresponding period of last year but 7.73% lower than target for the period. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
- IOCL-Guwahati and Bongaigaon Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to low crude receipts.
- IOCL-Haldia Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to deferment of Crude Distillation Unit-2  shutdown from Nov-Dec'21 to Dec'21-Jan'22 and Extension of CDU-2 shutdown.
- IOCL-Mathura, Panipat and Paradip Refinery: Monthly Crude processed in line of products demand.
- BPCL-Kochi Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to lower diesel evacuation during the first fortnight and higher stock of HSHSD as hydro-treating unit charges were limited due to lower amine strength.
- HPCL, Mumbai Refinery: Crude throughput is less due to shutdown of secondary units.
- HPCL, Visakh Refinery: Crude throughput is less due to delay in crude tanker berthing.
- CPCL-Manali Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to poor Bitumen & Petcoke demand leading to Vacuum Residue containment.
- NRL-Numaligarh Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to H2U/HCU  and Diesel Hydrotreating  shutdown due to HTER-p tube bundle replacement in H2U unit
3.2 JV refineries’ crude oil processed during December 2021 was 1774.71 TMT, which is 15.54% higher than the target for the month and 7.42% higher than December 2020. Cumulative crude throughput during April-December 2021 was 15214.50 TMT, which is 12.25% and 21.48% higher than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively.
3.3 Private refineries’ crude oil processed during December 2021 was 7238.96 TMT, which is 0.11% higher than the corresponding month of last year. Cumulative crude throughput during April-December 2021 was 63002.80 TMT, which is 8.42% higher than the corresponding period of last year.
- Production of Petroleum Products
Production of Petroleum Products during December 2021 was 22754.72 TMT, which is 5.93% higher than production of December 2020 and 3.27% higher than target for the month. Cumulative production during April-December, 2021 was 186008.63 TMT, which is 10.02% higher when compared with the production of corresponding period of last year but 0.28% lower than target for the period. Unit-wise production of petroleum products is given at Annexure-V. Company-wise production for the month of December 2021 and cumulatively for April-December, 2021 vis-à-vis same period of last year has been shown in Table-4 and month-wise in Figure-4.
